I brought this matter to the attention of the Senate. We have had the refugee and escapee problem facing us since World War I. Today we have in our country almost a halfmillion Cubans. Some time ago I made the suggestion that our friends across the seas should assist us in this escapee and refugee problem. I suggested the countries to the south of us should contribute. but what have we gotten thus far? We have gotten a goose egg. Nothing. To the contrary. they said: If you desire us to take refugees from Cuba. you will have to pay the expenses for them. That is the kind of cooperation we got from our friends abroad. We carry the whole load. but nobody else seems to worry about that. This committee. if it wants to do good work for the Senate. ought to look into the matter as to why our friends across the sea. whom we have helped. are not willing to help us solve the refugee problem.
